The Wolfpack Club, North Carolina State’s fundraising organization for athletic scholarships and facility enhancements, announced the next stop of the 2013 Coaches Caravan will be May 16 in Fletcher, with new football coach Dave Doeren meeting fans.

The event will be held at the WNC Agricultural Center restaurant at 6 p.m. May 16. This year, the Wolfpack Club’s Coaches Caravan will visit 17 cities throughout North Carolina as well as New York City.

“We are looking forward to returning to Fletcher again this year,” said Bobby Purcell, Executive Director of the Wolfpack Club. “Excitement is already building for N.C. State’s upcoming football season and we are happy to offer Wolfpack fans the opportunity to meet the program’s newest coach, Dave Doeren.”

After an extensive coaching search at the end of last football season, N.C. State hired Northern Illinois University coach Dave Doeren after he led his team to a second straight MAC championship. He replaced outgoing coach Tom O'Brien.

Attendees will be among the first to interact with and hear from Doeren about the upcoming season.

Tickets are $17 for adults, $14 for children under 10 years old. All Coaches Caravan stops are open to Wolfpack Club members and the general public.

As a part of the “Championship Commitment” campaign, Wolfpack Club members are encouraged to show the same commitment to N.C. State athletics as student-athletes display every day. Members can demonstrate their commitment by attending caravan events, traveling to N.C. State away games, hosting watch parties for important games and donating to the Wolfpack Club.

Additionally, current members are encouraged to bring non-Wolfpack Club members as guests. The caravan stop will feature raffles, prizes and N.C. State apparel for sale.

For questions about the Fletcher stop, contact Emory Pitts at 828-290-8122 or 828-684-6354 or by emailing p_emory@bellsouth.net. The reservation deadline for the event is May 13.
